æ When brandon awoke he found it the day of the halloween ball and he hadn't a partner to join him. He dreaded this time of the year even though his birthday was just around the corner. He wished that it was the other way around, that the girls asked the boys.
Then when he had worked up the courage he spotted a girl he had liked for some time. he knew the chances were slim but he still decided to take the chance. He headed across the entry way to where the girl sat watching him. æ
cho sits on a couch in the common room
when brandon reached the couch she was sitting on his heart began to pound, and he could here cho's friends begin to giggle.
He began to walk away hating himself for making such a joke of himself. He wondered why he was the only guy in school that ever choked. Even neville had a date for christ's sake.
cho smiles and laughs with her friends they are talkin about the dance and cho is the only one without a date slightly embarrased she trys to change the topic to what they are all wearing
*walks in the room* Hey Brandon! *smiles and sits next to him* whats up?
when brandon finally reached the table where his friends sat eating their breakfast he realized he couldn't eat. He sat with a sickened look upon his face and wondered to himself why him, why couldn't harry be the one without a date. of course he had an entire line of girls that would love to go with him.
but then he was sickened even more when he looked to find chos friends still giggling and pointing at him. he stood up abruptly and marched towards his dormatory.
cho still embarrased about not having a date tells her friends to stop pointing at random ppl to set her up feeling stupid she goes toward her dorm
*watches him go sadly without a responce* ok......
when brandon got to his dormatory he didnt want to even think about the dance. he decided he wouldn't even go and use the couple extra hours to catch up on this weeks work.
cho decides just to not go and have to deal with the humiliation of having no date on her way to her dorm she bumps into brandon*hey*
when he realizes who he has bumped into he replies * h-h-hey cho, why arent you going to the dance its about to start you know.
umm i dont have a date*embarrased* but yeah i guess i can just do hw or sumtin but yeah
he watches her begin to walk off but runs to catch up, when she turned around he began to say something but then he realized that he didn't know what to say. then he said * would you care to join me to the dance*
sure *smiling* i have to change but i will meet you down here in about 1/2 k i think the dance starts then bye* waves and walks away smiling*
* nearly falling over because of relief he makes his way to get dressed up for the dance*
~1/2 an hour later~
Cho comes down wearing a bloodred strapless gown with a ruby necklace and black stelletos with her hair down and curly
brandon sees his date* jaw dropping * and the hold hands as they walk towards the location of the dance.
along the way he notices that it was a good idea to wear his khaki pants and the deep red shirt his older sister had gotten him
smiling cho walks toward the dance where they see everyone dressed up she kisses brandon on the cheek and says thanks for bringin me i really wanted to come
*had resorted to doing homework on the couch* humm.....*sighs and writes down another answer*
*blushes* walks into the mass of fellow students and wonders if lavender had found a date she had been his friend since his first year at hogwarts
walks to get something to drink
(your doing great Brandon!!!)
*sighs and decides to go to the dance alone**goes up to dorm where changes then comes back down in a navy-blue dress with a diamond necklace and hair in braids tied in a pony-tail**walks down into the Great Hall alone and over to the punch bowl*
lavender hey im so glad you came!!!!!
when brandon finally finds cho he meets lavender * walking over to her* brandon says ahh i see you found a date
*shakes head and shrugs* nope, came alone. But hey, why miss out on the fun? Hi Cho *smiles at the two* have fun! *smiles and walks away, dissapearing in the crowd*
yeah omg lavender i love your dress its gorgeous!!!
brandon looks at cho* blushing* and says would you care to dance

*as a slow dance comes on, sits in the chairs alone, but is soon asked to danc by one of her friends, Zack**stands up and starts dancing with him*
while dancing brandon decides to ask cho out but a rush shyness came over him
*as dance ends, Zack has to go, so goes over to the door and leaves the dance hall to the grounds alone**as it is a particular starry night, looks up at them, her blue dress shimmering*
brandon finally begins to ask cho out but is interrupted by shane who asks to borrow cho for one song *angrily* he agrees
*shivers a little in the cold, but continues to look at the stars, facinated by them*
when cho returns to brandon he finally asks her and awaits her reply
sure i would love to go out with you* sry but i have to go i will b bck in like 1/2 and hour k thanks great rp!!!*
okay
(see you in a half an hour Cho!)
*takes out wand and waves it, and is suddenly in bathing suit**walks to the lakes edge and gets in**swims quietly beneth the water, then comes up for breath**swims to the side of the lake and rests elbows on the earth, loking into the darkness*
brandon walks out side with cho on his way to the tree by the lake,*spotting a figure on the lakes edge* withdraws his wand and him and cho continue towards the tree
*hey again* goes and sits by the tree
when brandon gets close enough he sees that the figure is lavender so he puts his wand away and sits next to cho
*doesnt notice anyone approaching and goes back underwater, then comes back under water and floats in the lake, relaxing*
its so pretty out here* starring at the stars* i love stars they are so pretty*looks into brendons eyes*
brandon starts to ask cho something when lavender joins them unexpectedly
looks at lavender *hey*
*walks over to them, back in dress* hey guys. *sees Brandons face* sorry *leaves*
hey lavender what are you doing swimming when there is a dance going on
*stops and looks back* dunno, its a great night.
oh he replies *looking back towards cho*
looks at brandon again

*waves and walks away to the other side of the grounds**snow starts falling**looks into the sky, white specks covering her dress*
sure i would love to *smiling*
*walks around the ground the grounds a little longer, but then goes inside the castle and walks up the stairs to the Griffindor Common Room*
great i will meet you later *kisses chos cheek* good bye see you tomorrow

heads up to the dorm to finish his potions work and then dozes off around ten p.m
*is sitting on window sill with no intention of falling asleep*
THE NEXT DAY
*is still sitting on the windowsill, though now in black robes**gets up off it as 5:30a.m. approaches and walks down the stairs to the grounds and into Hogesmeade*
hey lavender we are now at the new one called diagon alley
